Should I take that as a compliment or not?

I don't know! Sometimes they can come up with good jokes, and apparently sometimes my jokes are even worse than their ones!

Spreadsheet done.

Nozza is now ahead of me on age-grading, but then he is an old man so he needs all the help he can get. :lol:

I need to get into running more away from Parkrun. I'm worried I'll not ever get near my overall PB again. I'm consistently about two minutes off it at the moment.

You need to start running longer than 5k and frequency of runs to increase strength and stamina.

Indeed, yes. I may get up and go for a run tomorrow morning before work. Something like 10 to 15K.

I'm in the same position, and as I've got a 10k coming up in November, I'm going to do the same thing. It's just finding the time at the moment.
